From the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, EEKis a very kid-friendly site with links to information on all kinds of animals(would be a great resource for animal research), environmental issues, and a section devoted to cool thingsto do and read about. The Teacher Pagehas activities, resources, event calendar, and a news section that will help teachers keep their students informed about environmental issues.
The National Audubon Society’s education section has fun activities for kidswhere they can play games, watch videos of wildlife and see live webcams of nesting birds. There is also an adoption center where classes can learn about endangered animals, and how they can help. In the educator section, there are links to activities, lesson plans, and tips on how to bring nature into your classroom.
